Here's my situation:
At the show this weekend I acquired an early Series 80 Colt Govt Model. When I looked at the barrel while inspecting the gun, I didn't notice anything amiss, but I only gave it a cursory glance and didn't disassemble the gun.
I took the gun to the range, put a couple hundred rounds through it with no problems, and when I disassembled it for cleaning, I noticed some very shallow pitting on one section of the barrel near the chamber.
What I need to know is, is it possible to get a Colt marked 45 barrel, where can I buy one if it is possible, how much it would cost and whether putting it in would involve fitting of any kind or if it is just drop in.
TIA
